Description
"As I stand alone in Your great silence, in the midst of me there blazes a pure light, and it fills every atom of my whole being with its great radiance. Life, Love, Strength, Purity, Beauty, Perfection, stand forth in all dominion within me. As I gaze into the very heart of this light, I see another light, - liquid, soft, golden-white and radiantly luminous - absorbing, mothering and giving forth the caressing fire of the Greater Light. Now I know that I am God and one with God's whole universe. I whisper to God and I am undisturbed."
Yeshua ben Joseph

Usually..is the camera the main character..but here is your look....firstly is the mind and the heart and then, the device. I love it Rory... Rosa

Love this one so much. Reminds me of something I can't quite put into words - a very green place I knew when I was very young and desperate for solitude.

Thank you so much Michel! I had to have a photo for an article and was relieved to get at least one that came out decent...guffaw!!
